There are many different styles of offense and defense at the college level. On the offensive side of the ball there are many different formations. They have variety of them such as the pistol, power I, Flex bone, Wish bone, and the power T. There are more but these are the most popular. In the NFL almost all teams run the same types of offense. They all run pro style offensive and have shot gun formation and the power I.
The game itself wasn’t all that great, they two teams combined a total of 11 turnovers.

The only way the ball can advance up the field is by one of the players running with it because forwards passes are not allowed. The differences in the rules between League and Union are mainly about what happens after tackles. In League rugby, like
Powell 1 Grayson Powell LeAnne Garner English 1010 1 December 2010 Football Versus Futbol Football Association, better known in America as soccer, is the single most popular sport in the entire world. While football is one of the most popular sports in America, soccer is loved and favored in countries all over the world. Having played both soccer and football in high school, I feel that soccer is a more difficult sport to play than football, because it is a sport that requires a great amount of skill, concentration, and endurance. There are many reasons why soccer is better than football. Soccer is the original football.
It was so fun that it became rugby. The first signs of American football dates back to the 19th century when students from elite colleges and universities played it. A violent running game was played in Princeton around 1820, and around the same time a kicking game was played by the students of Dartmouth College. The rules used in the Dartmouth game, known as “Old Division Football”, were published in 1871. Rugby was the first running game to codify its rules in 1845.
The NFL also had the media advantage. For example, in the 1960s, Sports Illustrated's lead football writer was Tex Maule, whose previous job had been as public relations director for Pete Rozelle, the general manager of the NFL's Rams. Maule "was certainly an NFL loyalist,"[1] and several sports reporters took his deprecatory columns about the AFL as fact. In another example, another former Rozelle employee, Tex Schramm, was CBS's director of sports during the period when that network refused to give AFL scores. Many play-by-play and color announcers on CBS were former NFL
Flag football is my new topic this week! It is such an interesting sport because you wonder why they don’t just play regular football. But I still really want to tell you about it, so … GO AHEAD! Flag Football is thought to have started in the U.S. military throughout World War 1 to avoid injury to military persons playing football. Fort Meade, Maryland has the first recorded history of flag football and is commonly acknowledged as its origin.
Rugby and football may have originated from each other way back in the 10th century in England, but the time and the way the two games were invented are quite different (“Sports Know How”). Rugby was actually invented unintentionally in the year of 1823 when a soccer player by the name of William Ellis, who was on a team with a man whose last name was Rugby, picked up the ball and ran it all the way across the end of the goal line on the playing field (Mood, Muscker and Rink 395). On the other hand, football was invented intentionally by, what people call the father of football, Walter Camp. Camp sat down with others to form the concept and the positions in the game (“Sports Know How”). The equipment used for Rugby and football are tremendously different.
Foresight by a school member noted that with some small changes a football stadium could be made also. The Reitz Bowl is arguably one of the great natural stadiums in the nation. This year of 1921 Reitz began varsity footballplay. Reitz’s school colors were originally orange and purple. With a mistake in the ordering of football jersey colors, Reitz gave its orange and purple colors to Lincoln High School at the time.
Football and Football! Many people who come to the United States for the first time to visit or study, including me, are confused about the game of football in America. Part of the confusion occurs because they are used to giving that name to another sport "Soccer" which is originally evolved from the British slang word "assoc", related to association football. And the Americans adopted it to avoid confusion after football was already well established. Add to the confusion that only a few people in America have an interest in watching or playing Soccer.
